Give Taylor | Giving Tuesday Hosts Critical Informational Meeting for Nonprofits

Taylor, Texas

August 19, 2026

The Greater Taylor Community Foundation, host of Give Taylor   Giving Tuesday, will hold a high priority informational meeting for nonprofits on Wednesday, August 26th at 4:00 PM at Holiday Inn & Suites Taylor.

This meeting is the primary opportunity for agencies to meet the 2026 Give Taylor Campaign Leadership Team, learn the strategies behind this year’s coordinated giving effort, and understand how to maximize donor engagement and raise more funds during the December

1st Giving Tuesday event.

Organizers emphasize that this session is essential for all participating nonprofits — including returning partners and firsttime agencies — because the 2026 campaign includes new tools, updated posting schedules, expanded business partnerships, and a unified marketing plan

designed to increase visibility and keep charitable giving 100% local.

Quote from Steve Laukhauf, Chair – 2026 Give Taylor Campaign. “Give Taylor works because Taylor shows up for Taylor. This meeting is where nonprofits get the strategy, tools, and support that help turn one day of giving into longterm impact. When our organizations

succeed, our entire community succeeds — and we want every nonprofit to walk into Giving Tuesday prepared to raise more and reach more people than ever before.”
